Well yours truly has been there done that and with no great success....let me explain....

Totally newbie to the Bitcoin world. Went to get a BCH wallet and put money on it, didn't even know what the difference was between BCH and BTC

Made 3 transactions sending BCH to BTC Wallets....when you check on https://blockchair.com/ (which I was advised to do by a senior member) you see that the transaction went through.

When I go on my BCH wallet I see that the 3 transactions are confirmed on blockchain between 60 to 197 times and counting. So as far as I know the sellers (sent it to two different people on 2 different addresses) received it. But they both have been pestering me that they didn't.

Now because I asked on this forum and I was told that they did receive it and because I see that the transactions are confirmed on my end I told them both that they were playing with me and they told me that I was messing with them. So now I am really confused.

- Are those BCH lost in limbo?  
- Did they receive it and are just messing with me?
- Can we send BCH to BTC Wallet/Addresses without issue?
- Would sending BCH to BTC create delays?

It seems that one person says one thing and one person says it's opposite....would be so great to have a definitive answer on the topic.

Here are the 2 addresses I sent to:

1A6y6LJ2qqLZoYP1ir2sUkaEZn3L6S2o2F = This one sent twice. Mr one

1EY9X5MHsNMtApZrBN22yd4uGhyWLSogKF = This one sent once. Mr two

Also other question on the back of this; Mr two asked me to send him my bitcoin address so he could check to see if i made the transaction. First of all he said bitcoin address and not bitcoin cash (but to get the record straight I told Mr two that I was sending BCH and NOT BTC and he said that it was ok). Am I at risk if I give him my address? and if I do which one should I give him? (I used the BCH wallet from bitcoin.com) and yes you can give me the answer as if you were talking to a 6years old because right now that's exactly like I feel.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

first off thank you V.much for your quick replies and insights, it really helps. If you have missed that I am a Bitcoin Virgin....only last night when xYAkult spoke about Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold did I discover about Bitcoin Cash being a fork out currency created in Aug 2017 on the back of Bitcoin!

I didn't know any of that. Yes I am uninformed and yes I am getting up to speed, who hasn't been there at some point in their life...

Anyways, I went on Bitcoin.com, created a wallet, had the choice between buying bitcoin cash and bitcoin Core, I didn't even think I went for bitcoin cash because it was the first one on the list and I thought that is what I needed.

At the end of the day the seller knew that I was new to this because I told him so he could have been clearer as to what he wanted to get from me BCH or BTC but he didn't. The other point is that as per xYakult previous post:

You sent Bitcoin Cash to your seller and it went through, the coins is in his wallet already. You sent Bitcoin cash so blockchain.info won't show your transaction because it is for "Bitcoin". Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash are different.

You can check his BCH address here: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/address/qp3a5z8ejnc78kzsjuhax4lr2zps75hjqv93ez3amj

It clearly shows 2 transactions, 0.00873000BCH and 0.06100000BCH so if your seller insists he didn't receive anything from you, you probably got scammed.

So if your man received something, let's say he expected Bananas and got Apples. Fine he can tell me you sent me the wrong fruits but he cannot claim that he didn't get a bite from the apples I sent him and on top of that diss me a call me a liar.

In regards to receipt, the physical good I wanted to purchase etc...all I can say is that it was P2P transaction, not an above board company or anything; which makes me, even more, believe into the fact that I got scammed.

I Love putting my trust into people, my word is my bond and I was very excited to make my first payment using Bitcoin....Cash (you see am learning). But that's fine, it's about a 100EUR, you live you learn, like the saying goes fool me once...That will make me more vigilant.

I won't give up on Bitcoins or Bitcoins Cash, I love the concept and if this community is anything to go by then I definiltely want to be part of this journey

I take pictures when I am not ranting on forums lol check me out on instagram skabooboo82 if you feel like it!

Have a great week end, wherever you may be

Yup thought so, he took advantage of my newbiness. what a low life Thx for the insight. Could you advice on a way of avoiding this in the future. 2 factor authentification or the likes. Again might be talking bs here, just need to know what I can/should do in the future. As for this guy, I guess there is no way I could get even right. I am anonymous and so is he. I wish I could exact revenge on him just out of principle.

Lastly is you have a good place for me to go to understand Bitcoins better like a sort of Bitcoins for dummies it would be great (would love to understand more and also maybe a way to avoid paying fees when I buy bitcoins...) there is so much out there that I have a hard time to know what is legit and what is not.

Thx again for the quick reply!

Hi Everybody,

I am new to this forum and I am also a complete novice regarding bitcoin transactions. I only created a wallet last night and went with the very standard bitcom.com as a newbie i didn't want to venture elsewhere until I get a hang on things.

So I bought for 400eur worth of bitcoins BCH (bitcoin cash) and I was supposed to send my seller 160eur in total. We agreed on half before delivery of physical goods and half on delivery.

He gave me the following address to sent it to: 1A6y6LJ2qqLZoYP1ir2sUkaEZn3L6S2o2F

The first time I sent I messed up with the BCH conversion so I ended up sending him only 0.00873BCH = 11.44EUR. So I sent a second time this time 0.060057BCH = 78.68EUR. I got 62 Blockchain confirmations for both transactions.

So in total, as far as I know, I sent him 90.12EUR (sorry still have a hard time to write it in BTC) and he still kept on saying that I didn't send him anything and that he will not deliver my stuff because I was a liar and that I should stop "disturbing" him.

As am new to it I want to understand if genuinely something went wrong or if he is a scammer? I could be out of my depth here but I checked the address on: https://blockchain.info/address/1A6y6LJ2qqLZoYP1ir2sUkaEZn3L6S2o2F and it says "No transactions found for this address, it has probably not been used on the network yet".

So what happened?

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!
